Aave disclosed bad debt data: Depending on different rsETH accounting schemes, there may be two scenarios of bad debt amounting to $123.7 million and $230.1 million
Aave officially stated that there may be two types of bad debts arising from the rsETH theft incident, depending on the different handling of rsETH. If the stolen losses are deducted from all circulating rsETH, it is expected to generate $123.7 million in bad debts, which is concentrated in the Ethereum mainnet in absolute terms, and is most severe in proportion on Mantle.
If the value of the mainnet rsETH is guaranteed, and all losses are accounted for in the mapped version of rsETH on Layer 2, it is expected to generate $230.1 million in bad debts, all of which will be on Layer 2. Mantle will face a 71.45% WETH shortfall, and Arbitrum will face a 26.67% shortfall; the Ethereum mainnet will not be affected. Aave added that which situation ultimately occurs depends on decisions that Aave cannot control, mainly the accounting method for rsETH and the exchange rate update method of the LRT Oracle.
